After the Fall
By: The Lost Rob
Dedicated to: Someone special
Ill spend a thousand weary lifetimes traveling trying to kill this flame
I’ve got every square inch of this land imprinted on my veins
I’ve had dinner with apostles and I’ve slept with the insane
And still your face remains
I’ve tried to bathe my memory in baths of heroine
Trading the demons in my head for track marks in my skin
But every time the line runs dry your face comes back again
Oh god please let this end
Now I’ve used all my cigarettes
Trying to explain this
In simple terms
But its no use we can’t go back it seems
You can’t remember things
You’ve never learned
I’ve spent many sleepless evenings with my hands as cold as ice
The lining of my jacket against the howling of the night
And I pray to every god I know to end my sorry life
Before the next sunrise
I’ve cursed you till my throat was raw and could not make a sound
I’ve sworn off every thought of you more times then I can count
Yet you show up at my doorstep saying you are back in town
And I can’t turn you down
Now I’ve used all my cigarettes
Trying to explain this
In simple terms
But its no use we can’t go back it seems
You can’t remember things
You’ve never learned
I’ve learned many lessons in my life
The ones we burn are the same ones every time
It’s been so long and we haven’t changed at all
Living life after the fall
